Dragonflies, Butterflies and Ladybugs, oh my!

Spring comes early for Play For All at Raab Park in Poulsbo

Owen's playground on Bainbridge Island has a marine theme.

The Play for All Inclusive Playground at Raab Park is a community effort to build an inclusive playground in North Kitsap County..

Since 2018, a citizen group has been working to build a fully inclusive and ADA-compliant playground in North Kitsap. The group forged early partnerships with the City of Poulsbo’s Parks & Recreation Department and the Poulsbo Rotary Club, which took it on as a club project. After identifying the location at Raab Park, a fund-raising team was formed to pursue grants and individual funding for the project.

Taking a page from the community organizers who supported the development of Owen's Playground on Bainbridge Island, the fund-raising team for Play for All developed a set of  3 beautiful, insect-themed stainless steel plaques that could be personalized for donors, and become a permanent part of the hardscape when embedded in the paved paths, like those pictured here at Owen's Playground.

Commemorative plaques have inscriptions provided by the donors, and pressed into the permanent hardscape.

Here's where we come in...

We were thrilled to be able to support this project by bringing to life the designs created by Susan Murray, PLA, a Senior Associate at Studio Hanson Roberts, with inscriptions provided by donors to the project. These custom etched, stainless-steel plaques will eventually contribute to the theme aesthetics when they find their home in the paths and paved surfaces of the Play for All inclusive playground at Raab park.
